It really is "produce fondling" when it starts to get into questionable territory. I was about to say, we might need a finer line for the hurting people thing. That's oddly adorable. What, like start with mild for the next few months and slowly work our way up to extreme? There was one regular at my parents diner that asked for fruitcake every holiday season and my dad would always get one for him and the rest of it would go stale. It was one of those things that was weirdly infuriating to a pre-teen.
Matthew Murdock, have you already been fondling the produce? Lightly.
I know. I don't think that's the solution, though. That's a part of you too. It's striking the right balance so you don't...lose any of the parts of yourself to just one thing.
You and Foggy are frequently tied for first for the title of "friendliest person I know," so that doesn't surprise me. I want to watch one of these violin lessons, though.
The plus side to this adventure is that we get more curry. The down side is that you're going to be horrified by my blood pressure and temperature going all over the map once we get spicier.
Exactly. The deeply unfunny restaurant jokes were just insult to injury.
It's still fondling even if it's respectful fondling, Mr. Murdock.
I get it. Sometimes it seems like you...almost forget, maybe, that the other parts of you are just as worth having around. And that the other work you do is impactful. That you deserve time to relax. I'll try not to throw any stones in that relaxation glass house.
Of course. I'm even prepared to bring small bills.
Herbal tea's a good back up option too, if the oat milk isn't doing the trick.
Which is funny because I do think too many puns could also really damage public opinion. It's a fine line.
Good choice.
And speaking of looking after each other. Matt. If you don't get a full night of sleep tonight I'm going to come over and guilt trip you until you go to bed.
I think I'm pretty good at editing out too many puns in my court statements. Whether I cross a line when working late at night, I think you're gonna have to be the judge on that. You're the one who has to hear it.
Karen.
I think the more pressing concern and need for an intervention is that Foggy hides Cheetos in his desk drawer.
Yeah, but taking a pun based low road is an acceptable way of getting down on their level. I feel really bad that this is just making me crave Cheetos. Maybe I'll look for a lead lined snack box for us.

You know I've tried to put the costume away. It doesn't take.
You know I like to make friends, and the guy is a good teacher.
Yup. We'll build our way up, one curry at a time.
That would annoy me, too. Food is expensive, seeing it go to waste is always a shame.

... yeah. I guess there's a reason I can never stop for long. That balance though is hard to hit.
Will you give me loose change if I don't suck? ... not that I'd keep it. I'd donate it to my teacher.
I'll have some rice and milk on hand. Hope oat milk also does the trick with spicy food.

Mhm, I was going to say. I don't think either of us know what a vacation is.
It's crazy how most people have to go out of their way to carry cash now. I know I don't often anymore.
I do have a lot of excellent looseleaf tea. Some of which is herbal.
no subject
I don't think I've ever actually been on vacation as an adult. Wow, that's sad to actually type out.
I could get scratch tickets instead.
Looseleaf tea does smell really good. I imagine it would be nice to have in the kitchen.
no subject
I can't even say anything about it since I haven't, either. We can apparently be lame together.
Ha. I think Stu would appreciate the bills more.
It is extremely nice. I love tea, I just need the power that coffee brings in the morning. Even black tea doesn't have the same kick.
no subject
I can't think of anyone I'd rather be in a lame party with.
Oh, Stu will definitely still get bills. You're going to get the scratchers.
Nothing kicks you in the ass like coffee. Have I let you try my in case of emergency coffee yet? The brand is called Death Wish.
no subject
Likewise. At least this way I can understand when you overwork yourself while also trying to ensure you get some food and sleep.
Will you help me read the scratchers? Can I trust you with this task?
I don't think you have, and it's just rude not to share.
no subject
I think I've talked myself into coming to the farmer's market with you just so I can taste everything.
You do know that just means I'm going to be doing the same thing to you, right?
I like that you asked that as if you can't tell when I'm lying. Of course I'll help.
Next time you're over. It's really intensely caffeinated.
no subject
Good, my master plan of having an accomplice is coming to fruition.
Shhh, we're focusing on you're wellbeing right now.
Well, some people like the illusion that they can get away with lying in front of me.
My sleep-deprived self is looking forward to it.
no subject
I bet it would make for a great french toast.
Oh my God, Matt. That pun was criminal.
I think we're both skilled enough to focus on more than one person's wellbeing!
I'm not a fan of illusions.
When's the last time you got a decent night of sleep?
no subject
I take that crime as a compliment.
Better safe than sorry, let's just focus on you.
No, I know. You've always been dogged at uncovering the truth.
Define 'decent.'
no subject
You should. I laughed. I groaned about laughing, but I DID laugh.
There's no way I'm letting you off that easy.
More than three hours total in one night.
no subject
I had to try, didn't I?
Do comas count?
no subject
You did. And I respect that.
Matthew Murdock, have you been in a coma recently?
no subject
I guess we can look after each other, then.
No, but I might have been in one more recently than I've gotten three hours of sleep, otherwise.
no subject
It's a fine line.
Good choice.
And speaking of looking after each other.
Matt.
If you don't get a full night of sleep tonight I'm going to come over and guilt trip you until you go to bed.
no subject
How many hours counts as a full night of sleep? Six? What if I took six one hour naps throughout the day?
[Now he's just being difficult on purpose to tease her.]
no subject
Matt.
[Listen, she knows. And she still can't help herself.]
If you take six one hour naps throughout the day I'm going to enlist Foggy so we can stage an intervention.
Should I already be intervention worried?
no subject
Karen.
I think the more pressing concern and need for an intervention is that Foggy hides Cheetos in his desk drawer.
no subject
You know, deal some psychological damage.
Matt.
You know I won't be that easily distracted.
no subject
I'm distracted by the Cheetos when I'm at the office. One drawer does not hide the obscenity of that smell.
no subject
I feel really bad that this is just making me crave Cheetos.
Maybe I'll look for a lead lined snack box for us.
